Usage

Conduit power

Prismarine bricks can be used to activate a conduit by building a structure around it. By doing this, the conduit emits the "Conduit Power" effect in a certain radius, depending on how many blocks are used to power it. Sea lanterns can also be used for this purpose.

Note blocks

Prismarine bricks can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sound.
